libinput touchpad pointer acceleration - laptop model names needed

I finally have a bit of time to look at touchpad pointer acceleration in libinput. But when I did, I found a great total of 5 bugs across freedesktop.org and Red Hat's bugzilla, despite this being the first thing anyone brings up whenever libinput is mentioned. 5 bugs - that's not much to work on. Note that over time there were also a lot of bugs where pointer acceleration was fixed once the touchpad's axis ranges were corrected which usually is a two-liner for the udev hwdb.
